About Dr. Mazhari

I am an Iranian-American who has lived all of my adult life in the United States. Therefore, I am bilingual and can certainly related to the majority of our students. After finishing my degree in Biochemistry, I did 3 years doing full-time research in the field of adult Stem cells proteomics. After that, I grew an interest in teaching and begun to teach some courses at University of Nevada. After that, I begun to teach at a local community college. This was a lot more stable job for me as a family man.

I then moved to Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ and took up a full time position as a Chemistry instructor. I do have a lot of interest in biochemistry and right now enjoy teaching introductory chemistry and organic/biochemistry for allied health students. Occasionally, I do involve myself with summer research projects in metabolomics.
